All four products are made using all-natural, US grown non-GMO corn and expeller-pressed oil.

“Following a plant-based diet doesn’t have to be time consuming and we hope these products prove that,” said Duane Primozich, senior vice president and general manager of Earth Balance.

“As Earth Balance is a brand that stands for the plant-based diet, it is our goal to provide the best tasting and highest quality vegan foods on the market,” Primozich said.

Plugging trends

Earth Balance said its popcorn products target a popular and upcoming snack segment, as brand experts at the Sterling-Rice Group defined popcorn as ‘the snack of 2013’.

A recent report by IBISWorld forecast that over the next five years, the US popcorn segment would soar to $1.1bn at around 2.1% a year. It predicted that premium-priced healthier and organic variants would drive the market.

It added that plant-based diets were being plugged as a top food trend by media across the globe.

“We believe plant-based is the answer to consumer interest in leading a more conscious, compassionate lifestyle,” the president said.

Puffs? REally?

popcorn and Puffs are very high glycemic and are exactly what anyone wanting to drop extra pounds should NEVER eat. I love the fact they are labeled non GMO I would buy them but promoting them as healthy would be a stretch for any high glycemic food
